SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside this rice cooker. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not
attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
If an extension cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the RICE
COOKER. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse base in water
or other liquids. No liability can be accepted for any damage caused by
non-compliance with these instructions or any other improper use
or mishandling.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
